Gareth, by that reckoning you should have been boycotting USA goods forever as there is not one treaty with the Native Americans, that I know of, that the US government didn't break.

In general it saddens me that so many are ready to denigrate other cultures and countries, esp. when it is because they had the "Gaul" to stand up to the shrub. There is much I love about the French and their country, not least of which is my life partner is descended from very early French explorers to Canada.
